"This spelling program is based on the Look-Cover-Write-Check
method of learning spellings used in many primary and secondary
schools. This is a long established and proven method of learning
to spell words accurately. Most children, whilst learning
to read and write at primary school, are regularly given word
lists to learn. RnR Spelling makes it easy for your child
to practice learning these words, with a few minutes of regular
practice using the Look-Cover-Write-Check method that is the
basis for the program. Unlike other spelling programs, the
word lists are completely customizable so that they can always
match what your child is required to do for school."

Assited Language Learning). Each letter in a word or sentence
is replaced with a "-". Students try to guess the word.
Text, Pictures, or Sound can be added to help students. In
effect, you can easily create a multimedia quiz and dictation
in only a few minutes. Features include built in recording

"Reading Shape-Up is easy-to-use reading software that contains
tutorials on specific reading skills followed by short reading
selections. The program improves specific skills of reading
comprehension, while providing teachers with measurable results.
The software promotes expansion of vocabulary, and pinpoints
many troublesome topics of reading comprehension. Students
do work on sequence, main idea, fact-opinion, factual recall,
and inference. After an assessment, students focus on specific
skills, and work in a mixed practice format that includes
crossword puzzles and two-answer questions. They receive help
and contextual feedback. Students are able to track their
progress and print results. Students’ scores are kept in a
management system that allows teachers to view and print reports."

Designed for beginning readers (pre-kindergarten to second
grade), Animated Beginning Phonics covers upper- and lowercase
letters, beginning and ending sounds, middle short vowel sounds,
and beginning reading words. Sound is used extensively to
help the child identify words and letters. Help is available
as needed by the student. Pictures of more than 200 3D objects
are used in the exercises.
All menu items and directions are read aloud to the student
to help prereaders navigate and operate the program. When
the student has completed a certain number of problems, they
can visit the game room with puzzles and matching games (animated
of course). The game room has a parent/teacher control so
the number of problems that have to be completed before the
student can play can be controlled (5 to 50, or you can close
the game room."
